Event Details:3:30 PM: Doors Open4:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Fireside Chat + Q&A5:00 PM – 6:00 PM: Mixer
Binny Bansal is co-founder of Flipkart, the Bengaluru company that began as an online bookstore run out of a two-room apartment and grew into one of India's largest e-commerce platforms.
An IIT Delhi computer science graduate, Binny started out as a software engineer at Sarnoff and then Amazon before co-founding Flipkart in 2007 with Sachin Bansal. He served as COO, CEO and Group CEO, and led the company through Walmart's 2018 acquisition of a majority stake. Since then he has co-founded xto10x, which helps growth-stage startups scale, founded Opptra, and backed founders as an angel investor and board member.
In this candid -1 conversation, we'll go back to the days before Flipkart was Flipkart. We'll explore what it took to build e-commerce in a market where logistics, payments and trust all had to be invented, how to keep building as a company scales, and what it looks like to start again and back the next generation of founders.
This session is designed for builders who want to understand the thinking behind a defining Indian internet company, not just the headlines. Expect first-principles reasoning and hard-earned lessons.
Who should attend: Founders, engineers, researchers and operators who are drawn to hard problems and the -1 to 0 journey.
